Oh, you mean because "pocket" is pronounced like *paqet*, and {paq}
means "book", pronounced like {buq}...? I believe that's a bit farfetched.
In my opinion, Marc Okrand grabbed his TKD, saw the cover note on the
left, and thought "Oh, pocket books... then pocket is book, i.e. buq".
This is quite similar to Babe Ruth and Das Boot.
Quvar.

use my old address to send emails to me.
